Free Bits, PCPs, and Nonapproximability-Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...

PCPs and the Hardness of Generating Synthetic Data
Assuming the existence of one-way functions, we show that there is no polynomial-time, differentially private algorithm A that takes a database D ({0, 1}d )n and outputs a "...

Gowers uniformity, influence of variables, and PCPs
Gowers [Gow98, Gow01] introduced, for d 1, the notion of dimension-d uniformity Ud (f) of a function f : G C, where G is a finite abelian group. Roughly speaking, if a function ...

The PCP theorem by gap amplification
The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
